Postal Movie takes on the might of Jones at the box office
After a year of touring the world via film festivals and preview screenings, the film version of Running With Scissors’ cult video game franchise, Postal, now has a firm release date. Moreover, Postal: The Movie will make its big-screen bow on May 23rd, in direct competition with the first weekend in release for the latest Lucas/Spielberg Indiana Jones flick.How does the outspoken Uwe Boll respond? “We will go out and destroy Indiana Jones at the box office!” he said. Bold claims indeed from the outspoken director.
The film stars Zack Ward as "The Postal Dude", along with Kids In the Hall star Dave Foley; Austin Powers Mini Me - Verne Troyer; Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi Larry Thomas and classic character actor J.K. Simmons.
“Frankly,” Running With Scissors’ CEO, Vince Desi, (who plays himself and the Postal character Krotchy) admitted, “ we’re ecstatic that a release date has been set, and to have Universal behind it is all the sweeter. We’ve been working overtime developing POSTAL III for PC and console and our fans have been waiting to see this movie for a long time now.”
A UK release date has yet to be confirmed.
